Annabelle made it through the day laughing and happy. She seems to be getting back to her old cheerful self. She was a bit fussy in the evening but she’s finally starting to get her appetite back. She’s working on some new teeth and is enjoying the frozen teething rings.

I made it through a half day at work and had to head home. The sore throat and stuffy nose are getting to me but the kidney pains are really slowing me down. It’s hard to not be able to carry Annabelle around for long. The strain is a bit too painful so B is still pulling Superdad duty. We’re really lucky to have him – he does his best to take care of us. We’re a handful.

B got his braces put on today. He’s an official brace-face! 🙂 They are clear so you can’t even see them unless you look up close. As YaYa says, Annabelle and B will have the same diet of soft foods for the next few weeks. They don’t seem to be bothering him much – I guess he’s toughened up since the last time he had them.

The baby’s new bedding arrived. It’s just as cute as the pictures on-line. Miss Annabelle agrees. After the kitchen is complete we’ll be getting started on the baby’s room.
